- Subject: update docs for --enable-languages
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
I noticed this while working on my mostlyclean patch. The list of
languages in the docs for --enable-languages is incomplete. It is
missing jit and lto. I also noticed that the grep command matches
boot_language= in addition to language= which is a little confusing,
so I added the ^.
The sentence I added for lto is awkward. It isn't a default language,
but it is built by default. Maybe this would make more sense if we
talked about boot languages, but then that gets us into another mess
describing exactly when languages are boot languages. C is always a
boot language. C++ is a boot language if bootstrapping. And lto is a
boot language if --enable-lto which is the default.

@var{langN} you can issue the following command in the

Currently, you can use any of the following:

Building the Ada compiler has special requirements, see below.
If you do not pass this flag, or specify the option @code{all}, then all
default languages available in the @file{gcc} sub-tree will be configured.
-Ada, Go and Objective-C++ are not default languages; the rest are.
+Ada, Go, Jit, and Objective-C++ are not default languages. LTO is not a
